Rainbow Stage presents
a Keep Theatre and Walk&Talk production
The world premiere of a heart-breakingly hilarious new vampire musical by two of Winnipeg’s battiest theatre dwellers.
AFTERLIGHT is the story of an aged woman who has misplaced her husband, and a sad young vampire whom she saves from burning up in the sun. The two misunderstood souls bond over shared experiences of loss and time, creating a soul connection that blossoms into an impossible, unorthodox romance. As the wrinkles of memory begin to unfold, the couple is forced to confront the realities before them and the mystery of what lies beyond the afterlife.
“★★★★½
Afterlight is a tour-de-force.”
